The island of Fuerteventura is more known for its white sand beaches and kitesurf-friendly constant winds than for its typographic marvels. Still, it's on the walls of a ballroom next to its white-sand beaches that Debora Manetti found the hand-painted letterforms that she took as inspiration for her typeface Sala de Fiestas.
The resulting font was a condensed sans serif full of curious details and a jumpy Latino vibe that many years after still keeps its freshness and vernacular charme. Francesco Canovaro took Sala de Fiestas as a starting point for a grand tour into signpainter aesthetics, developing a reboot of the original into a new type family: Salad. While being faithful to the previous proportions and feeling, Salad provides extreme versatility through its five-weights range, its extended charset and its set of Open Type features including stylistic sets, alternates, positional numerals, small capitals and case sensitive forms.
